Things to consider when booking face painters and balloon artists: Typically, one FACE PAINTER can paint about 10-15 children an hour, depending on how complicated the designs are. (NB. Many small “tatoos” take longer than bigger face designs.) If your event will have large numbers of children, consider hiring multiple painters to keep wait times down. Silly of the Valley has a number of talented face painters to call on!

Likewise, a BALLOON TWISTER can usually twist between 35-45 balloons per hour, depending on the complexity of the balloon creation. For time sake, we usually suggest keeping the designs simple. That allows us to focus on interacting with our audience, thereby creating lasting memories, not just a balloon.

If your event will be a big one, we may ask for you to provide a volunteer to “cut off the wait line” about 30 minutes before the end of our time there. This will allow us to do our job in a relaxed and enjoyable environment, and in a respectful manor towards your guests.
